Requests came from Radnor High School, Radnor Middle School, Radnor Elementary School, and Wayne Elementary School, as well as a request to benefit students across the school district. The majority of the requests will utilize Educational Improvement Tax Credits (EITC) funding, as the requests were for innovative curriculum programs and equipment – the hallmark of this type of funding. Several requests will utilize unrestricted funding, which is derived from donations made by philanthropic Radnor school families, businesses, and the local community.
An additional grant request cycle will be offered in 2026 (Winter cycle), and the final grant cycle of the 2026-2027 school year will be offered in March 2027 (Spring cycle).
